Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Lightweight and affordable, the Canon EF 50mm lens--which offers a fast f/1.8 aperture--is an excellent lens for people who prefer a fixed focal length. Canon's lightest EF lens at a mere 4.6 ounces, the lens boasts a traditional Gauss-type optical design that delivers a sharp performance even when wide open. As a result, the lens provides an image that's extremely close to how your eye perceives a subject, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. In addition, the lens focuses as close as 18 inches, helping you take extreme close-ups. Finally, the lens offers an excellent color balance. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

  • Focal length: 50mm
  • Maximum aperture: 1:1.8

5 out of 5 stars best bang for your buck   September 1, 2010
MT
This lens is a great investment for ~$100. It's a great prime lens to carry around if you don't feel like dragging around all your lenses. Size is great and photos are fantastic, especially for the price. Portraits and low-light shots are especially great with this lens. AMAZING bokeh can be produced! Just need to get used to the fact that u can't zoom with it. Addition of filters makes it even more amazing.


5 out of 5 stars Great Lens, great price, "Toy-like" build.   August 31, 2010
akiraxrock
Awesome lens considering its price. A must-have item for all Canon users. DOF is amazing, works wonders when working in HD Movie mode or even the EOS movie hack.

The body feels like a toy, so do your best not to drop this baby. Many say that the AF is a bit loud, but I could care less...it gets the job done.

Photo Quality: Amazing!



4 out of 5 stars Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens   August 31, 2010
Davey D
For the money you can't go wrong. It is light and feels cheap but it takes great photos. I am able to take some great shots in very low light without flash using this lens. It gives me a lot of versatility in low light situations. You can't go wrong buying this lens.


5 out of 5 stars Ridiculously good deal for the non-professional   August 30, 2010
R. Paek (Tyler, TX)
After reading several of the excellent user reviews here on Amazon.com, I decided to take the plunge and get this lens. Speaking of which, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who wrote a review, both favorably and not of the item. I figured for $100 it can't be that big of a let down if it's not too great, right?

All I can say is WOW. I have a Canon Rebel T2i/550D with the 18-55mm IS kit lens. I then purchased this lens and the 55-250 mm IS telephoto zoom lens (it arrives today). This 50 mm f/1.8 II has met and exceeded all of my expectations for the lens.

Yes, the AF motor is a little noisy. Yes, the switch between AF/MF is a little stiff, which might be considered a good thing for some photographers. The manual focus ring is somewhat oddly placed at first, but after a few days of use I've quickly gotten used to it.

This really is an excellent camera for bokeh. Need a shallow depth of field but on a budget? LOOK NO FURTHER.

Trust me, you won't feel bad about getting this lens over the f/1.4 USM lens that's over 3 times the price. I would only recommend skipping this lens and getting the more expensive f/1.4 if you think that's a lens you will want one day. In other words, just save your money and get the more expensive one if you're a professional photographer, not on a budget, or must have the best and most expensive.

If you're like me and you're an avid novice photographer that just wants people to say, "wow, those are great pics" and not trying to make money off it, seriously, just BUY THIS LENS. Skip the "add to wishlist" part, just buy it.

At $100, this might be one of the best regular price (i.e. non sale price) deals I've ever gotten. EVER. I haven't snapped any pics with my 18-55mm IS kit lens since I got this 50 mm. And by non-sale price I mean Canon has this lens listed at $99 and it's sold for about that price usually. Many of the Canon EF lenses on Amazon are discounted compared to the MSRP, but this lens sells right about MSRP most of the time.



5 out of 5 stars Favorite Lens of All   August 29, 2010
A. UMBERGER (Ellensburg, WA USA)
This is probably my favorite lens of all time, I would recommend this lens to anyone, amateur or pro! I use this lens for sports, weddings, portraits, macro use, product photography and more! The only time I've ever had a problem was when an old roommate accidently knocked it off the counter and the first one broke. I bought a new one that very day and had it sent asap, I will never replace this lens with another as a favorite. The only second to this lens would be the canon 24-70mm lens. Check them both out!
